Spec check suggestions

Hi!

It's been ages since I last came here, and it's been too long, however I'm thinking about a desktop build again, soooo... Can someone possibly check the spec of this basket and let me know if I'm going wrong somewhere please?

Or if you want to offer an alternative spec that'd be great.

I am not gaming with this system, its primarily video and audio editing, hence no GPU

That looks so much better! Thanks

Yes the 2 monitors is deliberate, I'd find it so much easier to have one for audio and one for video editing, as I'm often doing voice overs.

I'm currently editing on an original i5 laptop, and it's got too awkward for me

Side note: I remember you! Man your still here, crazy times

Edit, not the SSHD?

Ok that's cool

I guess any old card will do as long as it has two outputs?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks stulid!

I'll get to ordering, better be quick, I seem to remember the this week only's change on a Tuesday? It's been a while though haha

ah, I'm getting old, memory fails me!

Yep clocked the edit, thanks, the contrast ratio was the first difference I noticed!

Good to see the forums are as helpful as they always were, I remember when I used to be able to give the occasional piece of advice, my knowledge is old and redundant haha

This spec would be good for fast editing and processing of video's do you think? I doubt any overclocking would be required? That can come at a later date lol

EDIT: Yes I have a NZXT Beta Evo I bought ages ago and only used for a month and a few 140mm bit fenix fans for it

Ok that's cool, I don't want to spend a small fortune on a desktop, but I'm hoping for a significant performance increase over my i5 M 430 with 8Gb of DDR3 that I currently have in my four year old laptop. I'm guessing the difference would be nothing short of mind blowing? haha, not even taking into account the SSD.

I see AMD haven't made a significant come back to the i series intel then!
